Sparring is sparring. I do Zen9 Martial Arts Australia. I am a black belt in that and Zen Chi Ryu. I've been doing Mixed Martial Arts for 7 years now and as far as I know it is the same. A controlled practice fight where you show off your technique and moves for judges or for practice. I hope this helps, if you need any more info just send me an email, Thanks :)
